Subject: Re: program to help WSTAR find overlays

<cpm.dirutl>setdru.lbr is the file name of the program you asked for 
to let WordStar find its overlays files in other user areas.

However, I don't think that is what you *really* want.  For that,
look to <cpm.pubpatch>pubpat.lbr.  That is a BDOS patch that allows
*any* program to cross user lines for overlays. (I use it for
WordStar, dBase and SuperCalc with no problems.)

One activatives a file to be accessable in any area by setting the
high-bit of second character of the file-name.  I use NSWP for this,
the pubpat libarary has it's own program for it.  There are some
side effects but none as bad as those in setdru.  As Jerry says,
recommended.
